S. c.. A. FAIR.
LAST DAYS PROCEEDINGS, FRI
DAY, OCTOBER 9TH. LIST OF
PREMIUMS, &C, &C.

the crowd commenced moving toward the
grounds. The attendance was much
larger than the first day, and the interest
and enthusiasm was still as strong as
ever. The most interesting feature of the
day, was the appearance of the lady riders
on the track in the contest for the premium
for best lady rider. Miss Myrtle Peek
was made the judge, and after putting the
contestants through a number OF trials
over the track, the first prize, hand
some gold necklace, valued at sl25 was
rewarded to Mrs. Arthur Stickley, of
strasburg. Miss Smoot. Of this county,
secured the second prize, fine ladies
saddle, and Mss West, of New Market,
was awarded the 3rd prize, fine riding
bride.
In the $50 trotting race, Nora, owned
by ]. Coyle, of Washington city, won in
three straight heats.
Miss Peek again appeared on the track
standing on the backs of her two horses
She made the half mile dash in 5ji Sec
onds amid the lound cheers Of the crowd.
In the foot race to sulkys, four jockies
started. The first money sl5 in gold was
won by w. b. Mitchell of Baltimore.
Marsh Hoshour Of Woodstock, took the
second money S. This race was very
amusing and seemed to please the con-
testants as much as the spectators.
The foot race was an amusing sight.
about twenty persons started and all ages
and sizes were represented. After hot
chase the race was won by J. Pangle.
The mule race was a very funny affair
and kept the crowd roaring with laughter.
There were five entries in tins race which
was for the slowest. No one was allowed
to ride his own mule and as every rider
did his best to make the mule he was or
lose the race by coming in ahead, it was
n most mirth provoking sight a. they
whacked the long cared brutes around the
track urging them with hands and feet.
T he race was won by a mule belonging to
Mr.. Miller, of Woodstock. As the declining
sun began to throw its frightening shad-
ows across the earth the crowd commenced
TO drift homeward and the last day of the
m ost successful and best fair ever held in
the Valley was over. Every one was
satisfied Shenandoah people felt proud
of the grand show made by their splendid
county a. well as the good conduct of her
people. The good behavior Of the inn
mense crowd was remarkable. Not n
single arrest was made during the entire
Fair. This speaks volumes for our people
rs we'll as our visitors. That the fair
was grand success no one can deny. A
prominent horse man who has visited
hundreds of fairs pronounced this one the
best he has ever attended and this was
expressed by hundreds of Others. To
DR.. King and his officers too much credit
cannot be given. They gave Of their time
and means without stint and being backed
by the people generally the result was an
exhibition of which our people can be
justly proud. The Fair Of the Shenan-
doah County Agricultural Society, is now
an established fact, and it will continue
TO grow better with each annual exhibit
ton.
Below we publish the list of premiums

ofthe special premiums, such as have been
furnished us. We expect to give the rest
